For your Audi, this will likely result in terminal understeer (depending how much bigger/stiffer the new bar is).  Is it worth a shot?  Absolutely, as long as you don’t mind reverting back if necessary and don’t intend to return the bar for your money back. Read more

We’ve all been there. I’ve purchased parts on a sale and then put off installing them until after the return window has expired, only to find that they don’t fit. This leads to “My mistake is your gain” FB Marketplace ads.

There is nothing more depressing than spending hours just to end up with all the stock parts Read more

This is an aptly timed article. As someone who also used my Sunday to do what I assumed was a simple air strut replacement on my LR4. It ended 5 hour later, without the new part installed, and me considering just throwing all my tools away in a resignation that car wrenching isn’t for me anymore.  Read more

The chrome tank is super cool! I don’t think I saw this post originally, and I don’t think I knew about the Cromo. Call me weird, but the 1st gen is the iconic Monster to me, and the S2R1000, and any others with over/under shotgun exhaust are awful. For the record, I prefer Ducatis, Ferraris and VFRs in colors other Read more

If you want to see the ultimate of win-at-all-costs, but done in a fair way, search for the 1979 French Grand Prix, and watch the race for 2nd in the last few laps. Incredible stuff. RIP Gilles.  Also...first win for a turbo engine, but no one was paying attention to the winner.

Max has the personality of the antagonist from every 90s teen movie. Unrepentant asshole. Read more

There is a way to fight really hard, to compete with vigorous energy without being a dick.  Max needs to find a way to do that.   Read more

They’ve had plenty of opportunities in the past when he was regularly clash/crashing with Lewis. I mean there are some rules now that are specifically Max inspired but he’s always been and always will be a petulant baby who will never repent. Read more

Nice to know that I never stood a chance at sanity or happiness, and neither did I. Read more

I love your work BB, you show us that we can exist in a world where two opposing ideas can be true at once. I just wish everyone were smart enough to understand that. Maybe some will after reading this. Read more

Buc-ee’s is like Joe Rogan’s podcast, or professional wrasslin’. You can complain that it’s harmful to peddle products that make people fat and stupid, but, by God, they all sell. If you want to make money selling a healthier product, you need to figure out how to market it like they do. Read more
